Some quotes from the pubbies and their ilk..

[Reeder]

Some examples…

These people are such idiots.

“I’m the commander - see, I don’t need to explain - I don’t need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the President. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”

 - George W. Bush, Washington Post, 11-19-02 

“Two things made this country great: White men & Christianity. The degree these two have diminished is in direct proportion to the corruption and fall of the nation. Every problem that has arisen (sic) can be directly traced back to our departure from God’s Law and the disenfranchisement of White men.”

 - State Rep. Don Davis (R-NC), emailed to every member of the North Carolina House and Senate, reported by the Fayetteville Observer, 08-22-01 

“Emotional appeals about working families trying to get by on $4.25 an hour are hard to resist. Fortunately, such families do not exist.”

 - Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX), House Majority Whip, during a debate on increasing the minimum wage, Congressional Record, H3706, 04-23-96

1996, 2001, 2002. Not news.

You don’t like Republicans. Also not news.

Get a better hobby, Reeder.

[Reeder]

I hate idiots.

Here’s another one from one of their ilk:

“Fuck off, Reeder.”

And how 'bout this one from a Democrat? You can search it out yourself, and while this isn’t the actual quote, it is paraphrased only slightly and it is his actual idea.

“We can solve the noise complaints near the airport by moving deaf families to that area.”
–Carty Finkbeiner, Toledo Mayor, 1994–

What the fuck is a “deaf family?”

[Jackmannii]

In further recognition of bipartisan stupidity, let us not forget this immortal example:

"“A zebra does not change its spots.” - Al Gore, attacking President George Bush in 1992.*

*From the 1999 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said calendar.

[Reeder]

Is that the best you guys can do??

Rank amateurs.

[Lord_Ashtar]

I’d love to see that Bush quote in context. What was the question to which he was responding?

[Cervaise]

Despite my plan to vote a lefty ticket in November, this can’t be said enough:

@andros

Get a better hobby, Reeder.

Hey, how about another one?

@andros

Get a better hobby, Reeder.

Mmm. I like the sound of that.

@andros

Get a better hobby, Reeder.

Stop not doing us favors, dude. We don’t like having you on the team any more than the conservatives like having The_Broken_Column. So with that:

@andros

Get a better hobby, Reeder.

@Lord Ashtar

I’d love to see that Bush quote in context. What was the question to which he was responding?

WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush has an unusual – some would say autocratic – approach to his job.

In a book published this week, the president is quoted as saying that because he is the “commander” he doesn’t have to explain his positions.

In the book “Bush at War,” by Bob Woodward, Bush talks about his job as “the strategic thinker” of his administration who makes provocative comments to prod his staff. Woodward then asked if Bush ever explained “what he was doing.”

“Of course not,” he said. “I’m the commander. See, I don’t need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”

Tu quoque much, Reeder?

[Lord_Ashtar]

Is that the same Bob Woodward that broke Watergate?

[andros]

The very same.

Look, I’m just fucking sick and tired of you taking these little sound bites out of context, Beer.

Cite?
Seriously though Reeder, we on the left have a hard enough time living down the loony label. You are not helping a bit.

[Reeder]

Will someone tell me what is so loony about taking words that actually came out of these idiots mouths and posting them for the world to see?

Y’all embarrassed or what?

[minty_green]

I’d call it “Democratic porn,” except that all the Democrats around here seem to be united with their Republican brethren in deciding that you’re just a moronic little twit, Reeder.

[Miller]

@Reeder

I hate idiots.

Self-loathing is a terrible thing, isn’t it?

[Airman_Doors_USAF]

Reeder, we’ve been down this road before, haven’t we?

You posted some quotes, you called them “idiots”, and that was it. It’s similar in content to countless other threads you’ve started. All it demonstrates is your deep hatred for Republicans, which has been firmly established.

So, what was the point? After all the other threads you’ve started, you couldn’t have expected anything different.

Because, my myopic friend, there are countless issues of real substance that one could bring up to criticize our current administration. What you are doing just seems childish and churlish. It is not productive, and it is rather embarrassing to those of us who happen to share some of your political leanings (in the same way that it is embarrassing to see someone walking down the street who has wet his pants and doesn’t know it).

Why don’t you start a thread in which you pick one specific policy of the Bush administration that you are against, explain why in coherent terms and then for bonus points offer an alternative to this policy and explain why it would be better. That would be pretty cool, and you might learn something as well.
